Testimonials

“Great stay at a resort with its heart in the right place” I stayed at Mataking for about a week and had a fantastic time there. Living in Shanghai can drive you a bit nuts sometimes and being in the exact opposite environment was quite literally a breath of fresh air: fresh air, nature, good […]

“Nice stay and staff!!” It was a nice stay in Reefe Dive Resort. Nice staff always concern about our needs! Also great variety of activities; kayak, diving, snorkel and swim in amazing beaches. Also we love baby turtles in the Turtles Hatchery. Great restaurant and bar. I will repeat for sure!! PabloVS1979 Barcelona, Spain, 13 November 2014

I visited Mataking with a group of friends in 2009. Being one of the furthest islands in the East Coast of Sabah, the boat ride to Mataking was a little 'strenuous' but as soon as we set foot on the dive resort, everything was worthwhile!

We will definitely be returning one day (hopefully very soon to witness our adopted turtle nest hatching in September!!) and I can fully recommend the resort, especially to diving and snorkling enthusiasts - there is just so much to see and the staff are spot on!

I have heard a lot of nice reviews about this place, but whatever i met there exceeded all possible expectations. I have never seen such kind of hospitality. We were treated as the most welcome visitors...

Travelled with my partner here for 5D4N and stayed in a premier deluxe chalet and had a wonderful holiday.
The food was wonderful-lots of choice; fish, meat, vegetables, 4-7 different salads alone and a live cooking station etc...

Our week in Mataking has been fantastic!
We spent there the last part of our Malaysian trip and after all that travelling (two families with five little kids,) Mataking was really a nice present...

I have read all the reviews on this site and feel compelled to write my own. I wouldn't say this was a five star hotel experience but it was in terms of character, warmth and charm...

It was simply beautiful. Great service, great views, great food, great diving spots. There were two islands for this resort, so it is a bit more fun to stay here than other water resort--although water bungalow has its own beauty too...

Just got back from our 3 night vacation at Mataking. We have travelled quite a bit around SE Asia and can say this was one of our best holidays. The staff at Mataking were absolutely amazing and extremely friendly...

My husband and I spent four nights here at the end of our honeymoon, and wish we could have stayed longer. We dived three times a day and took our advanced course there...

I think the island is special. All people that work in this resort are more than kind. Every meal has been good perhaps only too much chili for me but there was a lot of variety. Every one has smile for every occasion so I think I would like to come back again.

A wonderful dive resort: more like divers' dream resort where all facilities that a diver need are just couple of feet away. Will never forget this "Mataking" experience.
